Erica Hubbard joins The Staffa Corner for what almost became one of the shortest episodes in show history. She passionately came out swinging for her Chicago White Sox, a clear jab at my Minnesota Twins! Thankfully, I was willing to put that injustice behind me so we could explore her amazing career, from A Cinderella Story and Lincoln Heights to Let’s Stay Together, along with her work as a producer, writer, and director.

Beyond the screen, Erica shares her passion for mentoring young people through the Erica Hubbard Foundation and helping others find opportunities to succeed. We also discuss her Chicago roots, her approach to storytelling, and why collaboration matters both on set and in life. It’s a conversation full of laughter, perspective, and purpose, even if her baseball loyalties need some work. GO Twins!

On this episode of The Staffa Corner Podcast, I welcome actor David Webster, known for playing young Elliot in The Way Home. David shares how a childhood theater production in Sudbury, Ontario, opened the door to acting, why an ambitious pilot that never aired still changed his life, and how his parents’ support helped him navigate auditions, rejection, and the decision to pursue acting as a career.

We also explore David’s passion for screenwriting and the surprising creative freedom he found on The Way Home, including the opportunity to rewrite a pivotal scene’s dialogue. From the challenges of bringing Canadian stories to international audiences to his hopes for his own feature screenplay, David offers a thoughtful look at finding his voice both on camera and on the page.
